"Rude and Judgemental Dr"

About: Bendigo Hospital

(as the patient),

Hi,

So ED was the last place I wanted to be.

I’ve been experiencing a lot of chest pain, sweating and dizziness. I rang an ambulance after 2 weeks of pain. They gave me nothing which I thought ok, you guys would give me something.

I don’t think I’ve come across a ruder Dr than the one I had. I felt the doctor was rude, condescending and judgemental. I was in tears with the amount of pain. But no empathy or understanding. I’m honestly in tears. I felt the way I was talked to was demeaning and degrading. I get you guys are short staffed. I get things take time. I know I’ve been here with pain before, but it’s because I have received no answers. I got told off for looking at my own scan.

I got questioned on my story after sitting with intense pain for hours.

Please think about your bed side manner. This is the second time I’ve had a Dr like this.

Yes I have mental illness, but I also have pain that no one has been able to explain to me.

I’m not after the medication. I honestly just want an answer and not to be talked to the way I was today.

Really disappointed that this is seemingly considered ok.

I should not have to be writing this.

Please, please look into this
